What were the important battles in the war for Texas Independence. Why was each battle so important?
The Battle at the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. The battle of the Alamo was important because approximately 150-250 volunteers held ground at the Alamo long enough for Sam Houston to regroup and come up with a plan of action to cut off and defeat Santa Anna's army at the battle of San Jacinto. The volunteers at the Alamo took on approximately 1,500-10,000 soldiers of the Mexican army. For 13 days the Mexicans held a siege of the Alamo cutting all the resources to the Alamo off. On the 13th day Santa Anna's army attacked in three different assaults. By the end of the last assault all of the Texans at the Alamo were killed with the exception of Susanna Dickinson and her daughter, William Barrett Travis' slave Joe, and Juana Navarro Alsbury and her son. They were spared by Santa Anna to spread word of the onslaught and warn other Texans what would happen if they stood in his way. It is estimated that 600-2,000 Mexican soldiers lost their lives that day making the kill to death ratio for each Texan 1:3-1:8. The battle of San Jacinto is widely known across the world as well because Sam Houston lead the pursuing Mexican army into his choice of battlefield and waited till early in the morning under cover of darkness and using the element of surprise to storm Santa Anna and his men and defeat them in the quickest decisive battle in history. The entire length of the battle lasted approximately 15 minutes and at the end of the battle the Texas Revolution was over. The line remember the Alamo is famous all around the world but in actuality the rally to motivate the Texan troops was "remember the Alamo and remember Goliad!". At the end of the battle approximately 630 mexicans were killed and 750 captured while only 9 Texans died and 30 wounded.
